Fun romp
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I was lucky enough to read Bob Metger's first novel, Quad World, in manuscript form -- and I can tell you you're really in for a treat if you only know him from his short work! He really lets his imagination go here, creating a world where anything and anyone can appear. Telling too much will ruin the surprises. But rest assured, if you like humorous "gonzo" science fiction, this book will be right up your alley.
Gripping! Excellent!

This book is a wonderful mix of suspense, humor, and action. I can not put it down!
Weird and Twisted

If you want an easy read, where you can figure out the ending after reading just the first few pages, then don't get this book. But if you like something complicated, then buy it. I can not think of any other hard-sf novel where you could find Elvis rubbing elbows with Napoleon and Satan. Metzger is one weird and twisted writer.

Like peeling layer after layer away from some globe-sized onion, the mystery of who/what John Smith is, and how he finds himself in Quad World, and just what it is he must do there, is utterly fascinating. Nothing is as it seems, and when you think you've got if figured out, the entire world gets turned on its head. A turbo-speed puzzle that will require you to keep all your neurons engaged.
